All the others look well groomed but York sisters unkempt as if they have never heard of hairdressers. I think that is the biggest thing making them look always like they are in wrong place. All others have also stylish hats and simple well cut clothes with long sleeves, but York girls go with completely wrong style hats to their faces and clothes and with badly cut clothes.

My heart goes out to Timothy Lawrence, he looks so unhappy, and it is no secret that heand Anne are basically seperated, that they are trapped in a loveless marriage, and due toloyalty to the Queen that they've got to "stick" it out, and can't divorce. He was such adashing man, and look now how the stress of non-excistant marriage, and a very bossy wifeshow on his face. Hang in there, Tim!

On another site you can see the couple friendly chatting on the balcony! The Princess Royal stands next to Prince Harry, very much in the background. One has not the impression that they could be unhappy with each other. After a certain age many couples have their own routine of daily live- which means not, that they don't love each other anymore...

I really don't think this is the place to make comments about the condition of Royal marriages. Perhaps Sir Timothy Lawrence was caught in a bad camera shot who knows and why should we ask. He and Anne have been together for years and if things were really bad between them they would have spilt up, even though the tabloids would have loved it.

Catherine looks so beautiful in deep rose--perfection. Elegant suit. It's sad that the York girls obviously listen to no one about what they wear. Just like their unfortunate mother. Beatrice looks a bit better than usual but still fussed up and unable to grasp that less is more. Eugenie wore a 50s house dress.

It was unusually warm in London today. Soldiers in the parade passed out, about half a dozen of them, in their bear-skin helmets. So it was very wise of the two elderly gentlemen, The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Kent, to not wear the complete uniform plus bear-skin helmets. Instead, they opted for the slightly lighter to wear morning-suits plus medals of the regiments involved. It has absolutely nothing to do with often odd costumes of banana-repubic dicators, as you said. It all made perfectly sense.

I wonder if they should have ditched that expensive event for a general mourning about the horrible fire in London and the many dead adults and kids. Those are the tragedies. Some countries would have put their flags on "halfmast" and decide for a day of general mourning.- I know exactly what some may answer now, nethertheless, it's my opinion and it breaks my heart, while here is all the glamour and money.About fashion, I think the kid's clothes are coming from Spain often. (Nanny's inspiration and home-country?)- The Queen, Camilla and Catherine choosed good colours together. Just that hat makes Catherine older and a bit "oldfashioned". And no, I do not think that it is very "Jackie O." as noticed before...-Little Charlotte is the image of the Queen, and George will mostly look like his Dad, Granddad Charles, Great-Granddad Philip. Strong genes in Royalty. The Queen seems to observe George carefully on the first picture:).

Rainha, I have to chime in and agree with you about the Jackie O comments. Any time Kate wears a suit in a distinctive color, with a matching hat, there's all sorts of erroneous (in my opinion) Jackie O comparisons. I know it's petty of me, but it gets on my nerves. Glad to see you point it out. I also agree that Charlotte very much favors her Great Grandmother!

Black Alien; Those medals are from orders, foreign mostly. Prince Philip has probably all there can be reach, younger generation less. Prince William´s medals are Queen Elizabeth II golden and diamond jubilee medals. They are not reached after wars or military things.

I have neen trying to link a YouTube site called The Royal Reviewer from Shropshire that contains photos comparing George and William and Charlotte and her GanGan, Queen Elizabeth, but I cannot. I hope Hellen won't mind if I mention the site. It is not a comment blog.

well yeah she's carrying the torch for the middleton's genes..she is basically the young version of Carole and yeah if Pippa does look like Carole then Charlotte is an annointed Middleton. Even George is carrying a resemblance to her mother these days..yes he does look like Prince William now and then because her mother dresses him like his child father but when he's distressed (in many instances) he looks just like young Kate. Don't have to agree on that but everyone has their own opinion based on their own image reception.

The 5th picture of Catherine and Charlotte is beautiful. Charlotte is a a very pretty little one. Catherine's green eyes are striking. I am trying to figure out the color of Charlotte's eyes--dark blue or green like her mother's?

Agree, Mikey. And Hellen has now posted two photos above of the Queen and Charlotte peering out of a window. (Thank you, Hellen!) They bear a striking multi-generational resemblance-- right down to the expression!

Catherine looks lovely. I love her outfit and hat and I adore those earrings. The whole ensemble is perfection. I am going to sound picky, but hats look so much better when hair is worn up or well styled as Catherine did here.

I wish the York sisters would take a leaf out of their Grandmother's style book, always spot on and perfectly groomed.

Thank you, DSC. That would make sense given her birth year. I was also wondering about Cosima, another granddaughter of the Gloucesters (daughter of their son). I thought I saw Cosima's mother, Cheri, on the balcony in one of the photos. Her older brother is Xan.

It's all nice and elegant, but something is off for me. Not sure if that is the shine of the fabric on top of the terribly bright colour or just that it's a little unexpected given the somber, reflective mood in England at the moment. But pretty as she and the outfit are, overall this is not a win for me. A more subdued look would be very much more appropriate. Even the queen decided to not stand out and also repeated an outfit from several years ago. And the fact that Autumn Philips is also brightly dressed doesn't excuse her either. For all the 'dressing appropriate for the occasion' mantra, this one doesn't work. Doesn't matter to me that she may have planned this a while back. She wore it today. And it felt wrong.

I know, it is not about fashion, people. But you heard about the horrible forest fires in Portugal and many dead people? Well: 3 days of state mourning in Portugal!!! Why is this not possible in United Kingdom??Next day, after this balcony-scene here: horse race again, for the Royals and so on.What a world... And yes, I love! Fashion, Royalty... Otherwise I would not comment. But it is really a pity.

Franny you beat me to it ! The Royal Family are a constant, and with all that the UK has experienced so far this year, that is what is needed, a calm constant. By them carrying out their duties does not by any means, that the horrors of the last couple of months is far from theirs, or anyone's thoughts.
